蚌蛤（上龐講反郭璞注云蚌𧒏也周易云腹有珠者也[耜-耒]氏春秋云月望則蚌蛤實月晦則蚌蛤虛也說文蚌蠣也從虫丰聲下甘答反禮記季秋雀入大水海也雀千歲駕也說文云蛤有三種皆生於海蛤蠣千歲鴐所化秦謂之壯蠣海蛤者百歲鷰所化也魁蛤老一名蒲螺者伏翼所化也從虫合聲）。

Clams and bivalves (蚌蛤: the first is pronounced with the fanqie 龐講. Guo Pu's commentary says: "The bang [蚌] is a clam [𧒏]." The Book of Changes says: "Things that have pearls in their bellies." The Lüshi chunqiu says: "When the moon is full, clams and bivalves are filled; when the moon is dark, clams and bivalves are empty." The Shuowen says: "A bang is an oyster [蠣]; it takes insect [虫] as semantic classifier and feng [丰] as phonetic." The second is pronounced with the fanqie 甘答. The Book of Rites says: "In the last month of autumn, sparrows enter the great water—that is, the sea; a sparrow of a thousand years turns into a bivalve [蛤]." The Shuowen says: "There are three kinds of bivalves, all born in the sea: the oyster bivalve [蛤蠣], transformed from a thousand-year-old sparrow, called in Qin the strong oyster [壯蠣]; the sea bivalve [海蛤], transformed from a hundred-year-old swallow; and the giant clam [魁蛤], which is old and also named puluo [蒲螺], transformed from a bat. It takes insect [虫] as semantic classifier and he [合] as phonetic").
